II Overview:
Toyota Wish (II). With 164 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. With a weight of 1440 kg, it falls in the mid‑range. All‑wheel drive provides excellent grip, ideal for off‑road use. A spacious vehicle designed to transport passengers comfortably, often with sliding doors. With seating for 7, it’s perfect for larger families.
The Toyota Wish II was primarily sold in Asian markets and was not subjected to Euro NCAP testing. It is expected to meet regional safety standards for its time, but no independent European crash test data is available.
